Tho defeat OF Attorney General al
Caldwell for the First Branch in the First
ward by DR.. G. F. UlJich, whose majority
il ITO, is ono OF the interesting features OF
tie day. Il feqHired three counts to eat
isfy him that he was defeated.
Tho vote was unexpectedly large. The
good weather and the unusual interest in
the result conspirsd 10 bring this about.
The crowd tf people at the City Build
ing while tho official Returns were COM
ing in was larger than usual, and the
interest mere intense than at tho last
State election. The close vote maintained
thiB interest to the last.
Mr.. Trncy's handsome majority in the
Second ward reflects credit on the ward
when it is remembered what Kind OF 8
fight was made against him.
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT. EFFORTS.
The saloons vera closed yesterday, os-
tensibly, at least, but there was plenty OF
stuff to drink ali the same. Somebody st
the Office Of Chei Of Police Smith had c
private bottle-thet is when there was
any Of the city police force there. Officer
Junkina, detailed for Office duty under the
provision oil the ordinance which requires
the Sergeant to be present at all times in
Pc,aou or by deputy Mt his Office, spent
most oil his Inns at the Second ward polls.
Smith'G deputies wera oil active all day,
and threats were freely made to "reward
their friends and remember their enc.
mics"
A gentleman who happened to enter
Capt. Smiths Office shortly alter noon
found ono Of tho policemen with bottle
Of whisky to lis lips and tilted high in the
air. Porter Smith was not q foot distant.
At another time five or six men came out
OF tho Municipal Court room with pint
bottle full OF whisky, took drink all
round, and ono Of them took the bottle
back. Who was in tho court room at the
tine is not known.
The beats, the buns, tho bloods aud
The crooks all worried for Porter Smith.
Some time ago it will be remembered, the
1NTELLlGENCER at some expense investi-
gated The operations OF the famous Lowell
gang OF burglars, and in the course Of the
inquiry learned tho names OF two local
characters who were accessories to the
operations Of tho gang in Wheeling. The
names OF theeo Two men we're furnished
to Porter Smith, and there the 1STELl1.
GENCkE Let the matter rest. Yesterday
these two men were working actively for
Porter Smith. 7.0-,z
